Vintage Christmas Photos – Day 2 – Opening Gifts

This Christmas photo did not have any identifying marks. I place the photo around the late 1930s to early 1940s.

The lady is well-dressed for her Christmas celebration. I wonder what was in the box. I am guessing, she is a grandmother or great-grandmother to the host.

I love the Christmas cards in the background and the old-fashioned tree.

Merry Christmas!

Ski Time

Can you believe it’s November 1st already? Soon, the holidays will be here. And, of course, since I am in Michigan, there will be snow.

This snow photo is from an estate lot. I do not have any information. I am placing the photo in the late 1940s or early 1950s. My guess is based on his style of clothes and the wooden skis.

Exploring Pukapuka: Insights from a 1958 Image

I purchased this image from an estate sale. I don’t have any factual information. I did a Google search. The results suggests this is Pukapuka, formerly Danger Island in the Pacific Ocean.

The AI overview suggests this is a image from 1958.

Exploring a 1920s Wedding Photo from Bay City, MI

Here’s another photo that I am placing around the 1920s. I am assuming the couple just got married. And, they are now posing for their first photo as man and wife.

I believe this is a studio photo but I guess the location could be someone’s home.

The only identifying mark on the photo is the studio stamp. The photo was taking by Gorzycki in Bay City, Michigan. I think the other part reads: 2249 E. Grant Sts.

Outdoor Picnic-August 1968

I pulled this image from a slide that was dated August 1968. I purchased these slides as an estate lot. The owners must have traveled a lot. I am loving all the photos from different places around the world. If the locations still exist, I am adding them to my bucket list.

There are photos of couples in front of these cabins. Since this photo was taken in August. I wonder if this isn’t a farewell to summer picnic? The people in the other cabin could be coming together for one last summer picnic.

May 1961

I took this image from a slide which was labeled May 1961. The group are full of smiles. I do not have any further information.

I recently purchased the slide as part of an estate lot on an auction site.

The people in the slides loved to travel. I am so excited to pull the images off them.

The gentlemen in the photo appear to be in hunting apparel which makes me think they are at a cabin.

Two Men in Front of Signs

I don’t have any information about the two men in the photo. However, I did look up the ads for more information.

I researched “Jeeps! I’d rather have a milk-nickel” which is a chocolate ice milk slogan. The ad was in place from 1934 to 1941. The dates match the style of clothing and photo type.

I wonder if the two men were part of the benefit. Or if they were just posing in front of the signs for the photographer.
